"Rio is a really good guy, but I do think he's freaking out about the fact that you're not a wolf at all, regardless of designation. We've never heard of anyone having a human partner, so it would be... scandalous, if not dangerous, so that's his biggest concern, I think," Kingsley continues, with a pitying grimace on his face as he looks at me. He obviously feels bad for me, and he should, he’s a gorgeous omega and I’m not.
"Yeah, I understand," I mumble, looking at anything but him because I don't want to feel even uglier than I already do, "I was just feeling lonely, I guess. Rio is my only way source of information but I don't want to pester him about why he seems so against me being his mate, that’s pathetic.”
"Well, you’ll both figure it out soon. I'm a big believer in the fact that Mother Nature does everything right, if she truly made you for him, it's for a reason. It's not always perfect, okay? Even for fated mates. Laurent and I both tried to deny our bond for a long time, so... just don't worry. All in good time," he says, sounding way wiser than he looks.
"Thank you, you're very sweet..." ‘and I understand why you would want to deny your bond to Laurent but not why he would’, I'd like to add, but I don’t want to get in trouble, "By the way, I know you don't want me to talk to Laurent's wolf and of course I respect that, but what about yours? Could I give it a try?"
King grimaces and slowly shakes his head.
"I'm sorry, but it's a very intimate thing and my wolf doesn't like the idea of having intimate contact with anyone but Laurent," he says and I nod immediately so he knows I understand, "Don't you f-"
The door opening interrupts us and Rio walks in looking pissed, walking straight towards me.
"Where the f**k were you?" He demands, "You know you can't do that, where did you go? Did anyone see you?"
"No," I lie, rolling my eyes. He visibly calms down, "I just went to sit in the woods. Don't talk to me like that."
"If my people find out I have a human hiding here, that could cause trouble and panic I don't need, so don't go around doing s**t like that again,” Laurent spits, looking at me in complete annoyance walking until he’s in front of me and waving his hand for me to move. I get up and he immediately sits down where I was, next to King. Rude, as always.
Instead of just standing here looking stupid, I walk into our room and Rio follows me. He doesn't look as angry as when he first came in, but he's still not happy.
The first thing I do is pick up my phone. There’s a text from Aaron, but I immediately delete it before turning back to Rio. For a few seconds we just look at each other in silence.
"Why the hell are you so mad at me? I don’t get it. At least I have a reason," he says and folds his arms, "You took off without warning and disappeared for hours, that s**t was wrong. Anyone could walk up and talk to you.”
"You were being rude and disrespectful and I didn't like it. Also, you're acting racist again and making me feel like a bond with me would be the worst thing that could ever happen."
"That's not true," he complains, even though we both know it is true, "I just think it's impossible. You haven't given me time to wrap my head around it, Luna. You just said it and started being mad immediately. And I'm not racist, at least not with you, I've told you many times that you don't stink and you're not hideous like the rest of your people. Maybe I'm racist to them, but not to you."
"And what if we happened to have a child?" I ask, his eyes widen in panic, "I'm not pregnant, dumbass, but if I were, now I know you would hate our child. Don’t you think I have a right to be upset?"
"Okay, I am sorry about that," he whispers, cringing a little, "I would love my child, of course. I'm sorry. I have to work on that. I'm just in shock, but... look, Laurent and I decided we need to get outside help. His dad is someone I trust, so tomorrow we'll go to talk to him. Having input from someone who knows a lot more about this than I do will help me understand a little better."
"Really?" I ask, my stomach filling with butterflies at the thought of meeting someone in his family, "I'll get to meet him?"
"Uh, yeah," he replies, looking a little shy, "But could you not tell him we wanted to kill you? I don't think he’d like that. Laurent and I thought we'd tell him that I came to you guided by my wolf and that's why I told you all about us. By the way, we're going to Fallonmore to talk to him, so... that's something you wanted, right?"
"Yeah, that’s awesome," I nod, with a smile slowly growing, "Okay, I love the idea. It sounds smart."
"Perfect, so… are we good now?" he asks looking vulnerable and even though I'm still hurt by his behavior, I say yes and he dares to come over to give me a hug, as usual... but once I'm in his arms I feel a shift and I know Alpha is out.
Before I can say anything to him, he lowers his hands to my thighs and lifts me up. He takes me to bed and sits with me sitting on his lap.
"Now that Rio knows about this... are you blocking him out completely like before?" I ask, biting my bottom lip as I look at him. Alpha shakes his head.
"No. I know it's hurting you that he’s not ready to love you yet, but I think that's my mistake," he admits and I feel a surge of guilt from him, "I've been separating my feelings from his and I haven't given him a fair chance to feel the same way I do. Now I will. I'm sorry for doing things wrong, I would never want to hurt you."
"No, no," I stop him, putting my hands on his cheeks, "It's not your fault. There are obstacles between us, but at least everything is out in the open now."
Except that I haven't told him I know where his brother is, but I'll fix that myself before I tell him. Despite what Rio says, how much he wants to pretend he's just mad at his brother and 'hates him' I know exactly how hurt he feels by his rejection and now that I have a chance to do something about it, I will. Or at least I'll try.
Alpha brings his face close to mine and even though it feels strange to know that this is Rio too, I press our lips together. And not only that, I open my mouth for him and let him deepen the kiss. I need to feel loved and wanted and no one makes me feel that but Alpha.
Also, Rio has to know how good it is between us. Maybe that’ll open his willingness to accept me as his mate. His possible mate.
With that new goal in mind, I separate my lips from his to rip off my shirt and then unclasp my bra while the hungry eyes of my favorite werewolf follow my every move.
As soon as I’m exposed, I hear a small moan coming from his throat and he lifts his hands to cup them in his hands and move in to kiss them as if they were a new toy.
And they are, I guess.
I let my head drop back and I rub against his growing erection as he kisses and sucks on my n*****s, touching me all over.
"Make me yours, Rio," I whisper, “Don’t think so much, just do it.”
In less than a second my back is touching the mattress and Rio is on top of me breathing like an animal and ripping off the rest of my clothes.
"You’re way sexier than I imagined," he admits, taking a second to look at me fully naked for the first time. He licks his lips before ripping off his own clothes and laying on top of me, covering me with his body to kiss me again, hungrily and desperately, licking and demanding my tongue. Then he makes me wrap my legs around him, "You feel very much mine, I can't even deny it right now."
"I am yours,” I dictate, pulling away from his lips to look him in the eyes as I say it so it's clear to him. I move my hips until I'm cradling his c**k in my p***y. Rio lets out a deep moan when he feels the heat on him, "Make it official."
"f**k," he lets out in a voice so deep I can feel it vibrating on my chest. Once again and just like in his rut, touching Rio makes me feel a surge of his own arousal and I start to get just as frantic as he is, "Can I really do it? It's not too much for you?"
As he asks, he pulls away a little to look down at where we’re the most eager. His c**k really does look huge compared to my body and it's incredible to think that it actually fits inside me.
"It's not too much, I can take it. I've taken it before," I remind him and that's all he needs to give himself permission to continue. He pushes my thighs wider until I'm open for him but before he penetrates me, he touches me with his fingers to check if I'm wet enough, which I totally am. So much so that it's almost embarrassing, especially when my good friend Rio lifts his fingers, wet with my arousal, and puts them in his mouth to suck on them. I feel my whole body turn red.
"What, are you getting shy now?" he mocks, sounding like the Rio I know, wicked and teasing, just before he pushes his fat head inside me, taking all of my breath away, "Hell, Luna, I can do it like this? Without a condom? Human women don't get pregnant or what?"
Such an i***t.
"I'm on birth control for another two years, we're safe. There won’t be any half-wolf, half-human children yet," I blurt out, unable to keep my annoyed tone under control, but instead of fighting back, Rio lets out a moan and pushes in until he's fully inside me, making me feel like he's splitting me in two... but in a good way.
"Sorry, that was so hot," he excuses himself and bends down until he's near my lips again, "I'm warning you, I don't think I'll last long. I'm close already, but this is the best feeling I've ever felt."
"Shh," I let out and move my hips so he knows he can move, "It doesn't matter, I just want to make you feel good."
"Agh, f**k," he moans again and drops his face into my neck before daring to pull out of me a little and come back again with another uncontrolled movement, "You're doing it, you just feel so wet and hot and perfect. You're so perfect."
My whole body feels warm and gooey. This is what I wanted from him when I first told him. He's not lying, he really feels like this is the best thing that has ever happened in his life and a sick part of me loves that I am his first. ‘His first and only,’ says a very toxic part of me.
I instinctively tighten around Rio, making him let out another tortured moan and move in and out of me in a weird rhythm. Apparently, Alpha is letting him do his own thing because he feels totally like a virgin boy, but I don't mind. I perversely really like how desperate he’s feeling, how he can’t control his body or his need.
When he finishes inside of me, I still haven't had an o****m, but I don't even care because his d**k starts to grow once it’s outside and I'm quite grateful he didn't do that inside of me.
"Oh, no," he groans, his face redder than a tomato, "I'm sorry. Don't look."
"Rio," I laugh at his embarrassment and try to touch him again, but he plops down beside me and grabs a sheet to cover his knot, "You don't have to be embarrassed with me. I saw it once, during your rut."
"No, don't tell me that, it's embarrassing," he repeats, looking away. He's never looked so cute before, "And I didn't even make you come. God. I want to disappear."
"Rio, stop," I insist, trying to hide my laugh, "It's all good. You made me feel good, I don't need to come every time."
"Ugh," he insists, lying down with his back to me. His back is the size of a wall and I can't help but stroke it, trying to make him feel better, but he refuses to accept it for a few seconds. Until everything changes and he turns to me again, eyes dilated, "He decided to escape inside his mind, he's mortified."
Another loud laugh comes out of me and I get the strong realization that I f*****g love him.
I love him, all of him. Even if he’s ridiculous and silly and a little evil sometimes. He’s my evil werewolf.
I’ve never felt like I do when I’m with him. I’ve never been this happy. I don’t think I’ll ever be happy again if he decides to send me away.
I really want this mate thing to be real.
"But you're wrong, Luna. You do have to come every single time, all the time," Alpha continues, pulling me out of my thoughts as he tosses the sheet aside to stand up again and get on top of me, "The boy will learn in time."
"I don't mind... but, of course, I don’t mind you taking care of me either," I admit, spreading my legs for him again as he goes down to make sure I come. More than once.
